I use Google Desktop to find emails sometimes. (I have zillions saved in
Outlook in various Outlook email folders)

When Google Desktop finds the email it lets me open it in Outlook...

But... I can't tell what Outlook Email Folder it is in.

I could let Outlook search all my email folders but Google Desktop is so
much faster.

Can anyone tell me how, once an email is open in Outlook, to tell what
Outlook folder it is in?

thanks for any help.

outlook doesn't have any way of showing you that information. It's better to
use fewer folders and other mail management features like search folders and
views to keep messages 'separate'.

Hi Will,

I use Copernic Desktop Search (and feel that it is the best one out
there) and when you doa search for an email, the preview pane of the
email shows you exactly what folder and or subfolder the email is in.

Works great.
